The revitalisation of Corporation Street continued this week with the opening of an independent café.

Changamiri Coffee, next to the Singer repairs shop, specialises in single-origin coffee, roasted at source.

The opening could further the regeneration on the north side of the city centre, after Changamiri took the lease on 59 Corporation Street.

The café moved its premises from City Arcade to Corporation Street.

Hillary Chindodo, who runs the café, told CoventryLive: "We hope to carry on with the message of the farmers' plight at our new premises.

"As it stands, Corporation Street appears to be a much more visible location.

"We are excited to be joining existing cafés and coffee shops around this location as well as look forward to the Cooperative re-opening.

"It adds to people's choice when they visit that part of the city centre."

Corporation Street is enjoying a resurgence in fortune, with the opening of new student accommodation in the former Allied Carpets shop, and the transformation of the former Co-op into luxury apartments.

The former Coventry Telegraph building is also being converted into an art-house hotel.
